Mix it up!!!

One of the many things that I adore about Bo Bunny products is how compatible the lines are with each other. I had a vision of this wreath in my mind before I started it. That vision was of warm reds, rusts, and oranges that would compliment the decor of many homes. So, I went to my stash of Bo Bunny goodness and started pulling papers from various lines. The papers for the flowers came from Gypsy, Kitchen Spice, and Delilah. Throw in some Bo Bunny double dot green cardstock for the flowers and I was good to go.

I started with a 14" styrofoam wreath from the craft store and wrapped it in the same brown ribbon I used to hang the wreath. You could skip this part as you do not see it unless you look at the back of the wreath, but I really wanted to have a finished look to it.

Then I freehand drew a leaf on a piece of chipboard and used that as a pattern for all of the leaves. Hand cut the leaves and inked their edges. Next I used a hot glue gun to cover the wreath with all of the leaves. Made all of the flowers and glued them on and topped it off with some extra leaves and some decorative straight pens and a large ribbon!

Well, it seems to be obvious that the flowers are a huge hit and I was going to ask if you had a tutorial on how to make them. Guess I'm not the only one who was wowed by them! The wreath is beautiful!

I would Love to know how you made those Beautiful Flowers! I sure hope that you will share how you was able to make them so Beautiful!!! I Love the wreath and the neat instructions on how to make it. Thanks for all the Great Ideas!!! Jayne
